"At a reported 6 to 8 percent body fat, will Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) survive the zombie apocalypse?"

"Will you?"

"If they’re super-fit and fat-free, are they better off when the dead rise?"

“If you have no fat, you aren’t going to fare as well when zombies attack,” said Ranit Mishori, an associate professor of family medicine at Georgetown University. Studies of refugee populations and hunger strikers, she said, have pointed to the survival advantages of modest fat stores. Fat is the well of energy the body can draw on in times of deprivation, and as long as there’s a bottle of water to sip, people might get by for two weeks or so with little or nothing to eat."

As for the rest of us, we shouldn’t fret about that extra five or 10 pounds. We’ll need it.

-> Looks like this is the secret behind SaamiYaar's longevity.
